Chapter Six

It was later that night. I was in my room.

I was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling. I was thinking over everything dealing with Scott.

How he couldn't play on Saturday.

I thought that was unfair. He should be able to play, he just has to watch his anger.

I heard a tap at my window.

I sat up and walked over. I saw Brett there.

I quickly opened it and he climbed in.

"What are you doing here?"

"Wanted to see you again."

I grinned slightly.

"I want to know more about your past."

We sat on my bed.

"Well, I was born in 1902 in Chicago, Illinois. My biological parents were names Elizabeth and Edward Masen Sr. I have an older brother named Edward. My childhood was happy."

He grinned slightly.

"I learned the piano. It's my favorite instrument to play."

"Do you have any pictures?"

I stood up and went to my journals. I had put a book shelf in my room. I got a journal and went back and sat next to him.

I opened the journal.

I pulled out a picture of when I was a toddler. The picture was of course in black and white.

I showed him the picture.

"You were adorable as a toddler. Look at your little pig tails"

If I could, I would be blushing.

I showed him another picture.

"That's me and Edward"

"You look close"

"He's my best friend. We may argue sometimes but we always make up shortly after."

I took out the last picture.

"That's my parents, Edward and I"

"You looked to be a very happy family"

"I'd like to believe we were"

I put the pictures back in the journal.

"Like to believe?"

"Human memories fade the longer someone is a vampire"

"You don't remember your human life?"

"Not really. Just the pain of being turned. That feeling never leaves you"

"Didn't your adoptive father just change you?"

"Not just. Our bite contains venom. When we taste blood, a sort of frenzy sets in. The pain of being changed is excruciating. What Carlisle did was much harder.  Not all of us have the restraint to do what he did"

"What do you feed on?"

"Animals. Carlisle taught Edward and I the diet"

"So, he's the reason you feed on animals?"

"Not just. I don't want to be a monster"

"I don't believe you're a monster Juney"

"I've killed people before with Edward. We hunted those we believed didn't deserve to live."

"June. We all have a past."

I looked up at him.

"You don't care?"

"No. You're my mate, I want to be with you forever"

I grinned slightly.

He leaned in and kissed me.

I kissed him back gently. I didn't want to hurt him.

"You know you won't break me"

"Are you sure?"

He pinned me to the bed. I giggled softly as we resumed kissing.

The door suddenly opened.

"June, I- seriously?"

I got up and ran vampire speed to the door.

"Stiles, whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow."

"Yep, yeah."

I shut the door in his face then locked it.

I went back to Brett.

He chuckled as he laid on my bed.

"He's...something"

"Tell me about it"

"So I was thinking"

"About what?"

"I want to meet your family"

"You want to...meet my family?"

"Yeah. I mean we're going to be together for a very long time. I want to meet them"

"Well, I'm going back next Summer. You can come with me"

"Sounds great."

I laid my head on his chest.

"I wish I could sleep"

"You can't sleep?"

"No. Never"

"Must get tiresome"

"It does after a while"

His fingers went through my bronze hair soothingly.
